An analytical method based on LC-MS/MS was developed for the determination of asulam in livestock products. Asulam in livestock products was extracted with acetone. The crude extracts were defatted by acetonitrile and n-hexane partitioning. Cleanup was carried out using a combination of ethylene diamine-N-propyl silylation silica gel (PSA) and octadecyl silylated silica gel (C) mini columns with acidic condition. The sample solution was subjected to LC-MS/MS using an external solvent calibration curve. The average recovery (n=5) of Asulam from four types of livestock products (bovine muscle, bovine fat, bovine liver and milk) spike at the maximum residue limits (MRLs) or at a uniform limit of 0.01 mg/kg was 92.7-98.7%, with a relative standard deviation of 3.1-11.6%. The limit of quantitation of the developed method was calculated to be 0.01 mg/kg.

Green electrospinning for the production of freshness-indicating labels, employing entirely natural biopolymers and pigments, holds significance in the development of intelligent food packaging. This study aimed to prepare zein (Z) fibrous film (FF) incorporated with varying concentrations of anthocyanin (A; 0-0.5 %) through green electrospinning.

This study explores the factors influencing smallholder farmers' decisions on livestock ownership and herd size in the context of climate change. A cross-sectional approach was employed, using a multi-stage sampling method to survey 600 smallholder farmers, 495 of whom were engaged in livestock production. Data were collected through a semi-structured questionnaire and analysed using a double hurdle model.

Introduction: Enterotoxic (ETEC) is the main pathogen that causes diarrhea, especially in young children. This disease can lead to substantial morbidity and mortality and is a major global health concern. Managing ETEC infections is challenging owing to the increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance.

In recent decades, a general increase in multiple birth (MB) rate has been reported in both dairy and dual-purpose cattle breeds. As there is evidence that MB has negative effects on economically important traits in dairy cows, the aims of this study were to (i) investigate environmental and genetic factors affecting MB rate and (ii) assess the impact of MB on productive and nonproductive traits of the Austrian dual-purpose breeds Pinzgauer and Tyrol Grey. The dataset included 99,141 calvings of 33,791 Pinzgauer and 68,454 calvings of 19,244 Tyrol Grey cows recorded from 2000 to 2022.

The aim of this study was to determine and compare the diagnostic accuracies of two commercial pregnancy-associated glycoprotein tests, Alertys OnFarm Pregnancy Test (AOPT) and Alertys Milk Pregnancy Test (AMPT), for early pregnancy diagnosis in dairy cattle. Holstein cows (n = 124) were used in the study. Whole blood samples were collected from the jugular vein 28 days after fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI).
